Rock band Green Day among musicians pulling out of Asia tour dates

Don’t wanna be an American idiot

Another nation controlled by the media

and can you hear the sound of hysteria

its going out to idiot America

-American Idiot, Green Day

I'm also disappointed that one song has a completely ripped off chorus from a Joan Jett classic, and the title just has to be offensive and stupid.

Green Day has been on a creative roll during most of the 21st century so far, putting out solid and mature CDs and their new one is their worst since the accurately-titled 'Nimrod'. A misfire.

I like them but they're not really "punk", still, a major disappointment for their many fans over here who were looking forward to the dates.
